Safety

It's coming down to one thing, before I make a decision on going to Curacao this vacation.
Safety? How safe is it on Curacao, I did some research and it said that there has been a rise in the crimes (is this true, I hope not)?
Curacao looks beautiful and what we want, but there is nothing worst then feeling unsafe. Is it safe for me to ran on the beach by myself (of course with others on the beach)? For my husband and I to ride our bikes on the bike trails just us two? Or if he wanted to ride his bike by himself? Would be greatful for any advice please.

We personally don't feel we have any real safety issues to be concerned with in Curacao. We've been to Aruba and loved it. We've also been to several other Caribbean Islands that people would have more concerns with regarding saftey and never encountered a problem. Use common sence. Don't flash money or jewelery, don't walk in back allies at night, don't go off by yourself in unknown, unfamilar areas, kept to well lighted tourist areas at night, et., ect., etc. Same things you would in any town/destination.
